Did you try using a water bath, to mix your chemicals in? It will carry the heat better than your beaker or flask sitting in air. The rodinal from the Formulary last a good while.

The kit uses Potassium Hydroxide and requires some care in keeping the temperature under 60 F when adding the water to dilute, it becomes hot. Probably why it was dropped. The mixing went smooth but I miss picking a bottle of Rodinal off the shelf. Anchell's Film Developer Cookbook uses Sodium Hydroxide instead, so I'll use that next time. I put it in two pint bottles. Is there any advantage in refrigerating one of them? Rodinal keeps rather well, and I used distilled, boiled water.
